Saudi Arabia Withdraws Citizenship of Pro-Israel Journalist
(AlKhaleej Today-UAE) Yasmine El Tohamy - Abdul Hameed Al-Ghabin confirmed on Twitter that Saudi authorities had deprived him of his citizenship. In August, he wrote a column for the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom where he said that Saudi Arabia viewed Israel "as a logical future partner for us." He also concluded that Saudi Arabia and Israel "have mutual enemies: Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda." Five days prior to the removal of his citizenship, the Israeli Foreign Ministry retweeted a video made by Al-Ghabin in which he spoke of the benefits of normalizing relations with Israel, mentioning Israel's agricultural technology.
